Lyrics

Breakers Roar (Butcher Shoppe Session)

[Verse 1]

Oh, how the breakers roar

Keep pulling me farther from shore

Thoughts turn to a love so kind

Just to keep me from losing my mind

So enticing, deep dark seas

It's so easy to drown in our dream

[Verse 2]

Oh, and everything is not what it seems

This life is but a dream

Shatter illusions that hold your spirit down

Open up your heart and you'll find love all around

Breathing and moving are healing

And soothing away

All the pain in life holding you down

[Verse 3]

Bone breaks and heals

Oh, but heartaches can kill

From the inside, so it seems

Oh, I'm telling you it's all a dream

[Outro]

It's all a dream (It's all a dream)

It's all a dream

It's all a dream. no. no. no. no

It's all a dream

All a dream
